Townsville Perinatal Psychology
welcomes you

The Perinatal period refers to the time from just before conception, through pregnancy, childbirth, adjusting to parenthood though to when your infant is around 3 years of age. Perinatal Psychology is about supporting you and your family during this period.

​

The journey to parenthood is a momentous one and can bring to the forefront patterns, defences and ways of coping that are no longer helpful. Perinatal depression and anxiety affects approximately one in five new mothers and one in ten new fathers. Many parents do not expect to experience these overwhelming feelings and can feel very alone at these times. 

We want you to know that

Help is here and you are not alone.
